I've been reading a lot about how the Steelers have been tinkering with Tajh Boyd & Devin Gardner. Gardner was originally brought in & listed as a WR, but he has been receiving 2nd & 3rd team reps at QB. He saw some 2-pt/goalline work as well.

I'm wondering if they are considering the idea of implementing some read-option. Having a QB/WR like either of those guys would open up the playbook for those types of situations. Call them "2 pt Specialists" if-you-will!

That would prove to be miles ahead of Landry Jones' worth.

3rd & final week of OTAs start today!

Minicamp starts next week (16th-18th).. which is basically week 4 of OTAs but labeled differently for the sole purpose of making it MANDATORY. Even though they have had almost 100% attendance every day of OTAs thus far.

But get your fill of football these next few weeks, because after that we go into football hiatus for an entire month before Training Camp (starts July 26th).

If it forces a DC to spend an hour working on it...it might be worth the effort because they don't even have to think about Landry....I get the sense that he's not going to make it this year anyway.

He's was a black hole on the 53 last year. I still see no reason for why they kept him around when they had talents like Mauro getting sniped off the PS. That still makes me raw thinking about it. Landry should have been cut after LY's inaugural preseason 4 game against Carolina. That should have been his final test. I would have kept Brandon Kaye(sp?) over him at the very least.

Agreed...they lost Wesley Johnson to the Jets too I think.

Yea that was a bummer. But I'm glad Mike Adams showed more promise. Made me feel better about losing WJ.

Adams has developed into a decent backup OT that can start a few games on the right side...it'll be interesting to see if PIT decides to extend him...only 25 or 26...good chance they will if the deal is cap friendly, because Heyward's deal is probably not going to be that friendly.

You know there would be 20-something odd teams all in the market for a quality backup OT that is still young. So Adams wouldn't have any trouble finding a contract. But I imagine PIT will want to keep him around. Unless they see a high draft pick in the near future worth developing. I'm interested to see what sort of progress they are making with Villanueva. Looks like he put on some mass this offseason.


Got to finally get out and hit the course today. Shot an 87 this morning. Wildly inconsistent on the back 9, but my irons were a thing of beauty all morning. I was sticking some 5-10 footers out there. If only my putting was there, I would have shot in the 75-80 range. I left a lot of strokes on the greens. Putting for birdie 5 or 6 times and leaving with par or bogey left a sour taste in my mouth! Need to get out more and polish up the short game!
